menu monday

I've been back on the menu planning routine for a couple of months and finally thought about posting it on the blog again.

We usually sit down as a family on Sunday afternoon and go over the upcoming week and what everyone has going on. This is also a perfect time to brainstorm the menu with everyone there to input ideas. I've found that I have less arguing about what we are going to have if the kiddos have a say in the upcoming menu...and I don't have all the pressure of trying to decide what to eat. It also helps when it comes time to actually fixing dinner when I know exactly what we are going to have.

I like using a task list in my Arc planner to keep it organized.

The recipe for the Slow Cooker Brown Sugar and Garlic recipe is here.

The recipe for the Slow Cooker Tamale Pie is here.

It's a complete accident that both recipes are from the same blog.

I have modified both recipes to be gluten-free for us.
